Canada’s first national, exclusively dairy event

coming to Stratford, Ontario this February

 

Influential dairy-industry players have signed on to connect with professional commercial and purebred dairy producers

 

Stratford ON – May 31, 2012 – The Canadian Dairy XPO (CDX), a new large-scale dairy event and a first ever for Canada, will mix dairy agribusiness, breed associations, and the research community under one huge roof with dairy producers and global industry stakeholders.

 

In addition to hundreds of dairy product and service providers in the tradeshow halls, the event will feature a world-class speaker program, live milking robot showdown, working cow showcase, and an evening networking social. All will take place in the new world-class Stratford Rotary Complex.

 

“Progressive and professional dairy producers will find significant return on their time investment at this event that is exclusively for the dairy industry,” says Jordon Underhill, one of the founders of CDX. “There is a lot of pride in this vibrant sector and producers need a national stage to gather for technology and education transfer.”

 

Talo Tamminga, who spent nine years as manager of Lely North America and introduced robotic milking to North America in 1999, is Underhill’s partner running CDX. “We will operate in English, French and Dutch, the three major languages of the dairy industry in Canada,” says Tamminga. “We’ve chosen Stratfordas the home of the event as it’s one of the hotspots of expansion in the Canadian dairy industry and it’s easy to get to.”

Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is hosting a webinar on November 17 at 7:00 p.m., with participation from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The session will focus on bovine tuberculosis (bTB) and what it means for Alberta’s cattle industry. Presenters will provide background on the disease, share the latest information on the current bTB trace-in, and discuss what producers need to know moving forward. “This webinar is a great opportunity for producers to hear directly about how investigations like this work, what steps are taken by CFIA and industry, and how producers can stay informed,” says Karin Schmid, ABP’s Beef Production and Extension Lead. Titled “Bovine Tuberculosis: The Bacterial Ninja,” the session will focus on information relevant to primary producers, including an overview of the investigation process, common questions from producers, and resources for those seeking additional information or support.

Meeting Alberta's rising demand for water

Bill 7, the Water Amendment Act, would help farmers, ranchers, communities and businesses by streamlining regulatory requirements, increasing transparency and making it easier for Albertans to use and share water. The proposed changes keep the strong foundation of Alberta’s water management system in place while introducing common-sense updates that protect the environment while supporting a growing province and economy. “Water is one of Alberta’s most precious resources. Alberta is growing, and so is the demand for water. By listening to Albertans and updating the Water Act, we’re helping communities, businesses, and our economy grow and access the water they need to thrive.” Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas “By making these crucial changes, we’re taking an important step toward strengthening and growing our agriculture industry.

U.S. not ready to accept cattle from Mexico yet due to New World Screwworm

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says her country is not yet ready to reopen its border to Mexican cattle amid an outbreak of the flesh-eating New World screwworm parasite. However, she is pleased with Mexico’s efforts to contain the pest. Rollins, in Mexico City for meetings with officials including President Claudia Sheinbaum, said that President Donald Trump was “very focused” on reopening the border, which has been largely closed to Mexican livestock since May. Rollins, who declined to give a time frame for reopening the border, said she would speak to top U.S. officials about the issue on Wednesday and would have more conversations about screwworm with Trump. Mexico has been working to contain the outbreak, which has spread northward from Central America, rattling the livestock and beef industries of both the U.S. and Mexico.
